The National Policy on Elimination of Child Labour in Sri Lanka

The objective of the National Policy on Elimination of Child Labour in Sri Lanka is to contribute to ending child labour and sustaining the results, with a priority on its worst forms, through collaborative action and shared responsibility involving (but not limited to) effective enforcement, mainstreaming child labor issues in key development policies and programmes, collaborative action with key stakeholders at the national and sub national levels, and promoting and facilitating a sustainable life-cycle approach to decent work, particularly for Sri Lanka’s youth.
